[quote Buzz]eat at the corner of Geary & Van Ness.
Home of the great big beautiful
sandwiches.
I haven't eaten there in ages, but it's worth a lookup if you're into hofbrau type fare. And I assume you're talking about Tommy's Joynt and not Mel's Diner, which fairly recently added a branch to the intersection.
And I do agree that Alcatraz is well worth the visit. Any excuse to get out on the Bay is a good one, the history of the island and the facility is of course fascinating, and there's even some beautiful wildflowers to be seen on the Rock.
I think one can have a very good waterfront experience while avoiding the Wharf. Try any combination of the Ferry Building, Aquatic Park, Fort Mason, and Crissy Field.
And not to be controversial, but I suggest completely ignoring any homeless people who come up to you to panhandle. If you engage them in any way, they might not leave you alone.
